A REMARKABLE TOWN.
The town of Belgrade in kenncbcc is Il poor.
sandy town, but the poor sand has produced
some remarkable men. Our attention was call
cd to the fact by l.. ID. Emerson, Esq, of Oak
land Just as he was departing for his cottage
at Squirrel Island last Friday morning. The
town has produced three governors. viz, Lot
NJ. Morrill,, Anson =. Morrill, and Gov. Austin
OF Minnesota; a Secretary of the Treasury and
a United States Senator, Lot NJ. Morrill,; II
member of Congress, A. p. Morrill,; IN Epis-
copal Bishop, Bishop Spaulding Judge ofthe
Supreme Court of Wisconsin, Judge Milton
Morrill,. a pretty good record for ono town,
surely. Fairfield journal.
Nol FUND w HE NAlNNAI. GAME.
The magnatc of Winthrop, Maine, is Charles
NJ. Bailey who runs the oil-cloth factory MIR.
Bailey is peculiar and at the same time most
successful man. His wealth is variousy csti-
mated at from 81 ,OO0,000 to $4,000. 900. Prob
ably $2,OO0,000 would be about as near the
mark as one can hope to get on guess; and
no one really knows how much he is worth.
People can but admire his business energies
and great ability, and all admit that without his
business Winthrop would be very far from
what it is to-day. lie is Quaker and has some
pretty strict ideas as to an operatives duties to
his employer. Mr.. Bailey frowns down dane
ing and says he will discharge any man who
plays base ball.
GOING FARTHER TO FARE WORSE.
Mr.. +. A. Shaw, the owner of two large
orange groves situated in the heart of the fruit
belt of Florida, tells the Eastern State that he
left Winterport thirty-fve years ago and wan
dered all over the world until ten years ago,
when he made a southern State his home. The
extensive travels of Mr.. Shaw make his words
carry weight when he says that any Young man
makes mistake who goes from Maine to any
other State expecting to get rich without hard
work. Many have tried it and returned. The
old Pine Tree State affords plenty of opportu-
mites for profitable display Of enterprise.
IN CASE OF ACCIDENT.
All of the conductors on the Maine Central
have been provided by the management Of the
road with Seabury Accident Cases, containing
all the remedies to be used in eases of accident,
such as linen and rubber bandagcs, plaster,
surgical instruments, medicines, liniments, ETC..
with books of directions. Every conductor
will be his own doctor. The occasions are
frequent also in times of accident where
physicians are passengers upon trains and
where they are handicapped by lack of the
tools of their trade. Such will not be the case
hereafter. The rules are to the point and strict
that the accident cases shall accompany each
train.
